A sunny poillinator garden at the entrance to the playground in Amesbury's Town Park.
The Pollinator Playground is located at the Friend Street entrance to the playground area at Amesbury’s Town Park, and was planted by members of Amesbury Eco Gardeners in June, 2025. We are excited to watch it grow!
The plants in the Pollinator Playground are native to our area, are tolerant of sunny, dry conditions, support a range of insects, and flower at different times.
